  • Disclaimer
    InfoFlora compiles information on protected species as accurately as possible, taking it from the respective cantonal laws. In some cases, however, it was not possible to use the plant names as listed in the original text, but an interpretation of their taxonomy or nomenclature was necessary. The exact meaning of the categories „completely protected“ and „partially protected“ differs among the cantons.

    InfoFlora cannot guarantee that the information on the protection status is correct and complete. In case of doubts, we recommend to look up the texts of the respective cantonal law.

Conservation

Threats and measures

Regulierung des Wasserstandes


Wo immer möglich: keine Regulierung des Wasserstandes! Natürliche Seespiegelschwankungen weiterhin zulassen bzw. fördern

Eutrophierung (früher Einleitungen, heute aus der Luft), dichte Algenwatten (besonders 70er und 80er Jahre, heute weniger)


Wasserschutzmassnahmen weiterführen
nicht sauber geklärte Einläufe sanieren
allfällige Algenwatten vorsichtig von Hand oder maschinell entfernen (nach jedem Hochwasser!)

Überbauung und Befestigungen jeglicher Art, Stege, Bootsanlegeplätze, Überkiesungen (z. B. Badestrände)


Prioritäre Erhaltung der bestehenden Lebensräume
Koordination von Bauprojekten zugunsten der Art
Einbezug der Strömungsdynamik in die Planung

Lagerfeuer direkt am Strand


Keine Feuer im direkten Strandbereich

Intensive touristische Nutzung (Baden, Surfen, Segeln, Camping)


Schutzzonen ausscheiden (evtl. Mikroreservate)

In-situ measures
